Look ma! I'm on the @Wikipedia change blindness page! (P.S. In case you were wondering, I did not put this there myself 😛)

New in JMIR MedEdu: Examining Pediatric Resident Electronic Health Records Use During Prerounding: Mixed Methods Observational Study dlvr.it/SnqPS1
We have a new doctor in the house! I present to you *DOCTOR* @LoganDClark! Per usual, he was ultra prepared and had back up slides to address all and any question. Said back up slides also included a slide with just a menu that automatically jumped to various subsets of slides 🙃
I have not been able to catch a break recently, but historically this meant something good was on the horizon.
Well, today the something good happened...
Both my PhD students -- Lauren Horde and Nicholas Gardella -- were selected for the NSF GRFP!! 🥳🥳
This is my 2nd full time job every Jan now. It is insane. This year, I went to sign up for two camps on Jan 6 thinking I was on top of things to find that there were already WAITLISTS for said camps 😶
NEW: I wrote for @TheAtlantic about the absurdity of the January summer camp scramble and what that says about the American approach to supporting families (or not).

I told my 3YO that J.J. McCarthy is J.J. from Cocomelon all grown up... And now she's a Michigan football fan #GoBlue
Great day advocating for the science of human factors on Capitol Hill. Having grown up in VA, it was especially exciting meeting staffers of senators (and former VA governors) @timkaine and @MarkWarner
Thank you @HFES for giving the Science Policy Fellows this opportunity
Did I win a research award recently? ❌ No.
Did I receive new funding as of late? ❌❌ Alas, also no.
BUT did I help my daughter win the pumpkin decorating contest at her school? Yes.
I present you the fan favorite... @The_Pigeon 🏆!
Thank you @Dr_A_Wooldridge for being our seminar speaker today and sharing your work on, "Modeling interactions in complex health care sociotechnical systems: Challenges and opportunities to improve pediatric care transitions." Glad I got to enjoy it with my 6 YO too @HFESUVA1
Thank you @emory_csi for inviting me to give a seminar and hosting my visit today. I had a wonderful time meeting with the faculty and students and getting my steps in today walking around the beautiful campus @chinmay @YVigfusson @joycehoUT
Next up, @JadAtweh presented his work titled, "Identifying individual-, team-, and organizational-level factors that affect team performance in complex domains based on recent literature." He did amazing on his 1st ever HFES presentation! 🥳 #hfes2022
Riggs Lab alum, @shannydev did a great job presenting her work titled, "The effectiveness of uncertainty communication with varied automation reliability: Specificity is necessary but (potentially) not enough." The findings were based from data from 271 pilots! 👀
Unfortunately they ran out of hard copies at #HFES2022. But there is a special online where you get both books for $20 with free shipping: resight.global/shop.
The vendor said they are going to do the whole alphabet 🔤! Upcoming is A for affordances and B for biases
For all of those Human Factors and Ergonomics researchers & practitioners whose parents and friends still don’t understand what you actually do. I give you the ‘H is for Human Factors’ book from Resight Global. Absolutely brilliant 👏 #humanfactors #hfes2022

Been an interesting #HFES2022 so far. Hopped on a 5am flight Mon to make the SPF training but health was trending downhill fast -- was sick with a 24-hr bug. Then slept 24-hr to make sure I got well in time to have dinner with my current and former students yesterday 🙂

Well, it's official and still surreal. Just to give you sense the level of chaos leading to this moment... At the end Jan when I got the unofficial official email, I was going in for a Covid test -- turned out both were positive 🙃
My colleagues and mentors, especially the ones that took the time to read my statements and provide counsel over the years.
And finally, the people who made it worthwhile, my friends and family ♥️. Anyone who has gone through the TT process knows it's a family affair.
